...toting a carbine. Maryland had just accused him of inciting a riot, and Brown was charged again under a rarely used U.S. law making it a crime to carry firearms across state lines while under indictment.

Thus the entire fashion world lost some of its sheen last week at the news that the House of Balenciaga is closing. Some said he is simply bored; others claimed that his disdain for "commercialism" and contemporary styles had caused business...
Model Trenny Robb, 20, Chuck's sister, has a disarmingly disingenuous way about her. In an interview with Women's Wear Daily, she was asked how long her hair is. Replied Trenny sweetly: "Down to my boobs...
